Trendy WANE TV
One of the more prevalent trends in media writing is the use of geneder-neutal words to replace politcally incorrect terms like Councilman. It's sexist and offensive.
Following the trend, WANE TV is careful to use "councilor" in this story.
But true to form, in the next paragraph, WANE TV not only reverts back to the offensive male-version of the word, they use it in the singular form "councilman".
The only conclusion the Maven can draw from this is that sloppy news writing trumps political correctness, every time.
